craggy sorrel
alright thanks
limpid latch
oh ill mention this in display page but supposidly the odyssey g7 gsync flicker is fixed with a new firmware update that came out yesterday and thats 240hz 1440p
craggy sorrel
so is a 5600XT and a 5 3600 a good combo?
civic horizon
hell yeah
limpid latch
i wonder if i flash the asus bios will it then let me do an auto update for the newer asus uplifted 450w lol
naive girder
yeah
craggy sorrel
ok
naive girder
what is your budget?/
craggy sorrel
mine?
naive girder
yeah
craggy sorrel
just for pc its 1.1k
naive girder
i can make you a list
craggy sorrel
i already have one
craggy sorrel
ill think about it
people keep saying 1660 isnt worth it
and that 1660 super is better
craggy sorrel
im gonna watch a video on it
naive girder
i think youre talking about the 1650
thorn hatch
I think a 1660 ti is worth it
naive girder
really?
thorn hatch
Extra vram
keen notch
well the 1660 ti is only worth it if u don't care about vram
and was going to get a 2060
thorn hatch
But you could start looking at a 2060 near that price
keen notch
exactly
thorn hatch
Yea
naive girder
other than that the 1660 is way better
keen notch
yea
thorn hatch
It’s just out of stock always
naive girder
not really
keen notch
the 2060?
naive girder
on pcpartpicker theres an oc version that always in stock
thorn hatch
Yep
thorn hatch
2060s in my store are literally always sold out in 2-3 days
Depending on restock days
keen notch
well i mean
craggy sorrel
yeah
thorn hatch
Driver issues on amd my guy
keen notch
newegg got some that are slightly better priced
naive girder
i guess i was thinking of another gpu
thorn hatch
Driver hell on amd
keen notch
oh yea
craggy sorrel
yeah thats downside for amd
keen notch
i forgot about that
naive girder
if you use hdd
craggy sorrel
is driver
thorn hatch
1660 ti is a fine card in a nice price range
keen notch
i mean again 2060 is faster and not that much more
thorn hatch
But it is in the mid/high 300-400s
craggy sorrel
what about a 1660s
naive girder
ti is better than super right
thorn hatch
It’s pretty much just a 1660ti but slightly worse
thorn hatch
By like maaaybe 3-5%
naive girder
oh thats rlly good
craggy sorrel
ok 1660s compared to the 5600 the 5600 has a lead in fps by 12%
thorn hatch
Dude it’s literally like a 10 FPS difference at 1080p
craggy sorrel
yeah
naive girder
then get the amd
craggy sorrel
Yeah
naive girder
Do you have hdd or ssd
naive girder
what cpu are you gonna use?
craggy sorrel
Ryzen 5 3600
naive girder
damn why id your build so expensive lol
naive girder
isnt it 1.1
keen notch
mine 1.7
craggy sorrel
961.60$
naive girder
how much did it cost
craggy sorrel
94.98
naive girder
its m.2???
keen notch
yup
craggy sorrel
yes
keen notch
m.2 2280 tho
naive girder
im still going samsung thoug
keen notch
not nvme
naive girder
cuz samsung has really good software
craggy sorrel
the person who helped me did a good job at picking these
thorn hatch
I’m going Samsung bc I’m a fanboy xD
keen notch
haha
worthy sequoia
boutta get the mf 5700xt and i think i have to type in here to get an entry for the giveaway
naive girder
also data migration and magician are SUPER good
naive girder
yeah
craggy sorrel
other than i can lay in my bed instead of having to sit at my desk
naive girder
well you can use a phone for that lol
craggy sorrel
yeah
naive girder
thats my logic
craggy sorrel
i might get a laptop once quarantine ends
naive girder
also for example, my laptop has good specs, but the motherboard on it SUCKS and the RAM is old
craggy sorrel
cause then i travel alot
forest loom
laptops are just portable budget pcs
naive girder
oh hi matthew
forest loom
hello rebelred528
craggy sorrel
two shibes
naive girder
oh hi mark
crisp ocean
I almost just got a second 3070
craggy sorrel
lmao
forest loom
for an SLI or just for another build?
floral rover
crisp ocean
No to sell to a friend lmao
craggy sorrel
naive girder
lol sli died before it actually did
crisp ocean
I almost got the restock on newegg for the ventus
naive girder
thank god you didnt
crisp ocean
Lmao how come
fervent obsidian
ventus usually isn't good
crisp ocean
Didnt SLI used to be good like 10 years ago
naive girder
not really
crisp ocean
ventus usually isn't good
@fervent obsidian so I’ll sell him thst one lol
Is the ventus really worse than my twin edge
keen notch
i can't believe it
forest loom
sli is like a little brother to ram sticks that wants to copy it
naive girder
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/RebelRed528/saved/#view=Mqd78d a lot of the parts are on ebay and ignore the funko pop lol
i want to build it
the monitor is SO good for the price
keen notch
not bad
naive girder
usually monitors like that one are 700 plus
thorn hatch
Don’t do 1440p unless you actually have things to run it
naive girder
WHAT
thorn hatch
Or else 1080p looks like ass
naive girder
i got a spectre 165hz 1440p monitor for like 260 on amazon its out of stock tho
@keen notch whaaaaaaaa
keen notch
it was on sale
thorn hatch
Of course that good a deal is worth
crisp ocean
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/RebelRed528/saved/#view=Mqd78d a lot of the parts are on ebay and ignore the funko pop lol
@naive girder get an NVME SSD
keen notch
its out of stock
naive girder
i like samsung better
craggy sorrel
what about an msi optix
thorn hatch
But other than that go 1080p unless you have great parts
naive girder
the software on it is rlly good
fervent obsidian
that monitor is normally around there rebel
crisp ocean
Get a Samsung evo
fervent obsidian
monitors like that are not 700 plus
keen notch
optix is good
naive girder
evo isnt in my price range
craggy sorrel
its 144hz with 1 ms its 180$
thorn hatch
Viewsonic?
fervent obsidian
msi optix g241 is one of the best 1080p 144hz iirc
keen notch
165 with 1 ms 1080p is 170 i think
thorn hatch
Well idk where you guys find these prices and all but im spending like 370 on a 260hz monitor in a bit
27”
crisp ocean
So just get a Samsung evo lol
naive girder
its not in my budget
naive girder
i like samsung better ive said it a few times
keen notch
ok
keen notch
intel does
naive girder
ok then ill get it
keen notch
not crucial doe
crisp ocean
Why do you need a 1Tb ssd
naive girder
for storage
keen notch
ok
crisp ocean
What are you storing
naive girder
how much does the 500gb cost
crisp ocean
Why don’t you get a HDD, SSD won’t help with games thst much
clear frigate
same but I have to swap things constantly with only 500
naive girder
Why don’t you get a HDD, SSD won’t help with games thst much
@crisp ocean someone told me that ssd and hdd doest mix well and it could lead to really annyoing problems
crisp ocean
That makes no sense
naive girder
is it really a good idea to have ssd for boot and hdd for storage?
thorn hatch
Ok well idk what they mean doesn’t help with games, but load times on a hdd is worse and only gets longer the longer you have it
crisp ocean
Yeah, that’s my plan for when I build my PC
naive girder
also ssd is more reliable
thorn hatch
I’m moving all on my games to a new ssd sometime this month
keen notch
yes
crisp ocean
But it’s just games, nothing that sensitive
keen notch
no
thorn hatch
Depends
keen notch
not that goo
naive girder
But it’s just games, nothing that sensitive
@crisp ocean also school stuff
keen notch
good
thorn hatch
It’s fine in most cases
signal obsidian
Damn
crisp ocean
Put the school stuff on drive or yoyr ssd
keen notch
depends on your system
thorn hatch
But a 1660 or 1660 ti could serve you better
crisp ocean
I never leave my school stuff Unbacked up
naive girder
still i dont want to compensate for tht
keen notch
yup
naive girder
id rather get 1tb of samsung ssd
crisp ocean
Also it’s better to ask I. #storage-devices
naive girder
ok
keen notch
when do yall think the 3070 will be back in stock
crisp ocean
They’re doing some restocks today
thorn hatch
Never
naive girder
ikr
keen notch
where
crisp ocean
1 available
keen notch
haha
crisp ocean
But h and M or whatever it’s called did a gigabyte drop
And Newegg did a ventus today
crisp ocean
Is microcenter
lucid karma
Radeon won’t be much better with stock
keen notch
which one'
crisp ocean
B and H*
crisp ocean
Oh no they sold out in about 2 seconds lmak
naive girder
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/YvZzK8/intel-665p-1-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-ssdpeknw010t9x1 holy crap how did i not see this before
crisp ocean
B and H also sold the card for about $200 more than MSRP
keen notch
oh yea the be scalping
keen notch
damn
crisp ocean
Niceeee
daring tusk
It was nice i didn't have to pay for shipping simce the product was eligible to ship to kuwait
keen notch
i woke up so early just to see it gone from my cart
then i went to micro center they said they had 10 in stock
a\they didn't
daring tusk
10 in stock 1 for each second
keen notch
then i went to best buy all they had were 1660 ti's
10 in stock 1 for each second
@daring tusk
lol
zenith lagoon
Lol
daring tusk
I see that rog pfp got a asus zephyrus g14 here myself
keen notch
i mean and then all the 2000 series cards are being upsold
daring tusk
How come
daring tusk
Yea which brand tho
naive girder
do you need assistan
naive girder
nothing
keen notch
ok
cloud pulsar
So I'm getting a small form factor dell optiplex 7010 i5 quad core...gonna upgrade ram and ssd, but one thing I do need help on is what graphics card will fit and work with the power supply...any suggestions?
spice prawn
depends on the variant you are getting
also, again, depending on the actual variant of case
frigid bluff
I mean, i would stick with a 2 fan card since they are usually shorter.
spice prawn
you could end up with a HH card
rugged lintel
@cloud pulsar is this the pc you meant?: https://www.cnet.com/products/dell-optiplex-7010-core-i5-3470-3-2-ghz-monitor-none-series/
cause there is lots of variants of this pc
clear frigate
HH card?
spice prawn
half height
clear frigate
ohh i learned a new term ty
rugged lintel
spice prawn
aye
clear frigate
second term learned
gaunt lotus
Seeing the announcement from AMD, what GPU's are you guys leaning to now?
spice prawn
that one is very much a carryover from servers
clear frigate
more than im learning in my wireless networking class rn
rugged lintel
I will buy a rtx 3070
I was choosing between rx 6800 and rtx 3070
but I think I will stick with 3070
spice prawn
@gaunt lotus that there will be some very interesting reviews in the next 3 weeks :)
clear frigate
I would like a 3070 but if i can get a 6800 maybe the xt if i can manage the cost im not opposed to it
especially since the 5000 series cpus have functionality with the new gpus
gaunt lotus
yeah, originally I'm going for a 3070 but with these stocks and price hikes...I'm not really sure anymore.
crisp ocean
I thunk a 3070 is better
gaunt lotus
@gaunt lotus that there will be some very interesting reviews in the next 3 weeks :)
@spice prawn That's when the RX will be released right?
spice prawn
@clear frigate https://images.anandtech.com/doci/10269/zotac_geforce_gt_710_pcie_x1_1.jpg example of a HHHL card
clear frigate
yo thats tiny
crisp ocean
580*
spice prawn
nov 18 iirc @gaunt lotus
rugged lintel
@crisp ocean is it palit?
gaunt lotus
Can't wait. @spice prawn
clear frigate
how much is the 6800 and 6800xt like 570 and 650
rugged lintel
yeah a weird brand 😄
rugged lintel
it is full of stock in my country
spice prawn
zotac makes "interesting" products IF you want niche builds
rugged lintel
but the card looks weird
really weird
I can buy a rtx 3070 palit now
but I didnt really like it
crisp ocean
I was crapping on their design
spice prawn
Palit are fine
rugged lintel
I will buy evea or msi
crisp ocean
zotac makes "interesting" products IF you want niche builds
@spice prawn wdym by that
spice prawn
they did some of the first decent ITX boards back in the day
rugged lintel
evga*
spice prawn
and their mini-nuc-like machines are also interesting etc
think of it like this: their stuff is not normally "just" a copy of everyone else
crisp ocean
Ah, I also heard the zotac 9XX series were pretty bad, but I’m assuming their cards are much better now
rugged lintel
is there a real comparison between rx 6800 and rtx 3070?
crisp ocean
The actual card
rugged lintel
there are some in internet but I dont think they are real
spice prawn
@rugged lintel reviews are not out yet. so no
rugged lintel
hm ok
crisp ocean
I’m kinda dumb
clear frigate
typically when can reviews release day before or
crisp ocean
Ah nvm lol
spice prawn
@crisp ocean i was talking about the products :)
clear frigate
curious for cpus aswell
crisp ocean
Yeah I figured lol
spice prawn
depends on the embargo @clear frigate
crisp ocean
Worse case I’ll sell or trade the card
clear frigate
darn
rugged lintel
is i7 9700k good enough for a rtx 3070 overclocked to 2000 mhz?
crisp ocean
Should
rugged lintel
at 2k
spice prawn
sadly it has been moving more and more towards the reviews coming out hours before the cards go on sale
nvidia has been pushing that way for a number of years now
which is annoying as all heck
clear frigate
I agree with that
spice prawn
@rugged lintel i have not looked enough into how the 3070 scales to answer that with certainty. But in theory everything should be fine
rugged lintel
damn I'd really like to get my hands on a new rtx 3070 😄
clear frigate
alot of people would but alas
rigid crag
My friend wants a new system, and he has the budget for a 3080, but only really plays 1080p fps shooters, mostly warzone, and streams it. Would it be wiser to just get a 3070?
lone pond
^^^
craggy sorrel
should i get a 5600XT or 1660ti?
lone pond
they could also use the extra cash for other internals for their PC as well
rugged lintel
there is a big difference between 5600xt and 1660 ti
they are not really comparable
rigid crag
3070 should be enough
@rugged lintel the encoder for streaming is the same tho right?
craggy sorrel
is it comparable to a 2060?
rugged lintel
yeah I think it is
lone pond
yes it is
craggy sorrel
hmm
rigid crag
Alr
craggy sorrel
so which is better a 5600 or a 2060
rugged lintel
you mean 5600 xt?
craggy sorrel
as i dont have a big budget
craggy sorrel
i mean
rugged lintel
but I would choose 2060
craggy sorrel
ok
lone pond
but its also like a 8% difference in performance no?
rugged lintel
@rigid crag they have the same encoder
yeah in some games
they beat each other
in some games they are similar
rugged lintel
yeah
craggy sorrel
so the 5600XT is still a good choice?
rugged lintel
I'd choose 2060
craggy sorrel
alright
lone pond
^^
rugged lintel
or ray tracing
rugged lintel
some games support dlss
lone pond
deep learning super sampling i think is what it stands for
rugged lintel
yeah
craggy sorrel
oh
rugged lintel
some pixels are generated by ai
wraith plover
Pretty much it makes things pretty and run well
rugged lintel
so it improves fps a lot
wraith plover
^^
craggy sorrel
alright
lone pond
this is correct
rugged lintel
and there isnt any image difference
wraith plover
lol
rugged lintel
but I think in monster hunter world
wraith plover
Men do we wait for a 3070 or 3080 ti w the 5900x
rugged lintel
it looks really weird
wraith plover
Or just buy a 3080 and a 5900x
spice prawn
"and there isnt any image difference" <- not quite true, but for general consumer, close enough :)
lone pond
that 5900X is looking rather spicy IMO
lone pond
is there going to be one?
wraith plover
Hoepfully
rugged lintel
@spice prawn yeah true
rugged lintel
is gaming with 8gb gddr6 vram enough for 2k gaming?
wraith plover
I meant the processor
wraith plover
But yes the 6900xt is insane
lone pond
I play with a 2070 on a 2K monitor w/ rather normal graphics settings and I run games well
i read 6900X oops
the 5900X is nice too
even if it doesn't quite hit 5GHz
wraith plover
Do you think it’s worth the price
lone pond
i still think its going to be an amazing chip
rugged lintel
guys this isnt about graphics card but I have a msi motherboard and there is game boost option I have a i7 9700k and when I open it I get blue screen while playing cs go
lone pond
i think it is, you get a 12C and 24T and has a boost clock to 4.7GHz
wraith plover
What’s the error code
lone pond
^^^
wraith plover
Do you think to buy it for retail I have to buy off release. I don’t plan on using it for like 7 months
rugged lintel
wait I will check
I think I took a photo of it
it is
MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION
it only happens when I open game boost
it boost cpu clock to 5ghz
fathom bear
Why are you overclocking if you haven’t done your research?
lone pond
that might be why, because you're stressing the CPU
rugged lintel
I was pretty new when I got my system
fathom bear
That chip doesn’t go to 5ghz without manual changes
lone pond
its OC's the CPU when you open games, no?
fathom bear
Reset your bios
lone pond
^^^
fathom bear
No difference in what?
fathom bear
What is ‘game boost’?
rugged lintel
it is a msi motherboard feature
i think it makes fans work at full speed
and overclocks the gpu to 5ghz
fathom bear
Do you need to turn it on?
wraith plover
Than don’t turn it on silly
fathom bear
To overclock you usually have to modify the power limits. I wouldn’t suggest using that.
fathom bear
Hey
rugged lintel
hmm ok
wraith plover
Fire
rugged lintel
you have the same cpu
crisp ocean
Fire I got a 3070 at microcenter
rugged lintel
did you overclocked it?
fathom bear
Awesome! Which one?
wraith plover
Do I buy a 5900x and hold on until 3070 or 3080 tis release?
crisp ocean
Zotac overclock
fathom bear
Very nice
wraith plover
(The processor)
lone pond
^^^ LUL
fathom bear
I’m not one to speculate
If you can wait, wait. If you can’t, buy now.
Same goes for everything
wraith plover
I can wait
Tbh I’m afraid the 5900x (retails at 549) will shoot up in price
Well it can’t too much cause the 3950x can be bought for like 680
weary flax
ngl personally I think I'm going to try to get the 6900xt from AMD rather than a 3080/90
wraith plover
No dlss or ray tracing
weary flax
Actually it has ray tracing
lone pond
but they are working on their own version of it
weary flax
the only thing it doesnt have is DLSS
rugged lintel
it has but it is worse than nvidia's
weary flax
yes
wraith plover
Lisa should’ve been more clear.
rugged lintel
not really a big difference
wraith plover
Oh lisa
late reef
Lol. It was on sale for exactly 2 mins. Couldn't even enter my info before it was gone.
wraith plover
How long do u guys reckon till ti or supers release
charred kernel
This is the first time I'll be shopping during black friday. So the MSI 5600xt is for sale at 240, but I'm guessing once the 6000 series start selling would the older ones like the 5600xt get cheaper?
spice prawn
not yet
because nothing in the 6000 series competes with the 5600xt @charred kernel
everything in that series is at least 200usd above it
crisp ocean
And also the older cards are still in high demand
odds are the 20XX and 30XX for Nvidia and 5XXX and 6XXX for AMD won't have any sales, or many significant ones
weary flax
@spice prawn What??? The 6900xt can match the 3090 with a 5k series amd cpu, and boost turned on. The fact that its 500 dollars cheaper is huge. Thats money to spend on said CPU. I'm pretty sure you meant to say when it comes to price, but the 6k series is looking to be much better than the flop that 5k series was
charred kernel
You read it wrong.
spice prawn
read again @weary flax
weary flax
Reread it, still changes nothing.
charred kernel
Thanks @spice prawn and @crisp ocean
spice prawn
okay, lets walk over it then @weary flax
is there currently anything in the 6000 series that costs less than 500?
crisp ocean
the 3090 has 8 gb more vram, and is going to be using for rendering and much heavier tasks whereas the 6900XT is just a very high end gamiung card
spice prawn
and you are very welcome @charred kernel :)
wraith plover
I agree with fallen
crisp ocean
I mean you can compare them, but a 3090 isn't ONLY for gaming
weary flax
I thought the subject at hand is whether its the best for gaming specifically. Sure the 3090 is better at creative workloads, but for most people, they only care about the gaming perf
weary flax
Its also about value
crisp ocean
microsoft flight simulator for example uses about 20GB of vram
if you're spending 1k+ on a gpu I don't know how much value comes into play
weary flax
It depends.
spice prawn
still waiting @weary flax
weary flax
@spice prawn No, but I still don't get how re-reading the sentence changes anything. When it comes to value? People with shallower pockets may choose 5XXXxt cards, but when it comes to competitiveness, the 6k series still is quite appealing
spice prawn
i was not talking about value
crisp ocean
Huh
weary flax
I'm so confused
spice prawn
i was talking specifically about what the user could afford
crisp ocean
Think of the 5XXX series as cheaper 6XXX series, thats all they are
charred kernel
Me
spice prawn
oh, indeed.
weary flax
still was a very roundabout way of explaining something
spice prawn
not really
the user asked: whats better 5600xt or 2060
then someone brought up the 6000 series
the 6000 series does not (currently) have anything that competes
weary flax
oof
spice prawn
which again, its all up there, you just had to read it :)
weary flax
ok
sinful crater
@spice prawn whats the best 250 or lower nvidia card
spice prawn
you mean 250 usd or lower @sinful crater ?
limpid latch
Not sure if you can get a 1660 for under that
sinful crater
yea
spice prawn
1660/1650super something something
solar kelp
go 60 super
limpid latch
Or save
solar kelp
1660 super is the best card at about 200 used
spice prawn
1660super sneaks in @sinful crater
limpid latch
If you get a evga then you can stepup to 3000
Gonna be some time but youd be in a queue and pay when they notify you
sinful crater
;-; 3000 series???
solar kelp
if you got the power go for it
and the money
3060???
it would be great
and cheap
sinful crater
i need it within 1-2 months
solar kelp
it might be announced soonish and would release some time December/January
hopefully
but if you dont need rtx go 1660 super
sinful crater
2060 seems to be better
solar kelp
it also costs 300+
spice prawn
remember, you are the one that set the budget.
sinful crater
how much would a used one be
spice prawn
depends on your luck
sinful crater
what would give best performance and experience under 300
spice prawn
new or used?
fathom bear
5600xt perhaps
solar kelp
sinful crater
@spice prawn doesnt matter
solar kelp
thats about you budget
wraith pasture
@solar kelp sorry, bots delete anything link related to anyone below lvl 3 hahaha
spice prawn
that is from the link @solar kelp posted
and yes, that would indeed be a fair deal for that price imo
IF
you are buying right now that is
sinful crater
looks kinda ugly ngl
solar kelp
buy a backplate and it will look better
fathom bear
Facepalm 🤦♀️
spice prawn
at that point (285 usd) you are pushing very very close to new cards thou
@sinful crater also, keep in mind, you cannot get everything while on a budget
royal obsidian
go for the evge ko ultra
spice prawn
also, keep in mind, IF you are sitting and staring at the GPU in abject horror. I would recommend getting a hobby. Maybe play some games or something you know? :)
solar kelp
the 285 card is like 335 retail
spice prawn
aye aye, and the practical difference between that and a 300usd 2060 is practically zero.
solar kelp
the ko on ebay is a great deal the condition if almost new
spice prawn
its 369
solar kelp
i saw that
spice prawn
which is 100% not a okay price for it
sinful crater
What would be the cheapest 1050ti replacement
solar kelp
1660?
royal obsidian
1650 is the cheapest but i would recommend atleast a 1660 super
solar kelp
do you haave a gpu right now?
spice prawn
@sinful crater re: Tesla: just no.
solar kelp
a 1660 super will be about 94% better acording to userbenchmark
obsidian light
Y’all what’s the difference from the 1660 ti and super
charred kernel
Is this a good deal? https://www.newegg.com/asus-geforce-gtx-1660-super-tuf-gtx1660s-o6g-gaming/p/N82E16814126359?Description=1660 super&cm_re=1660_super-_-14-126-359-_-Product or wait for more discounts?

ti technically has more performance but the super is a better value

the tuf comes pre overclocked but the gigabyte should have better cooling because of the 3 fans
for $10 more the cooling is preferable because then you can manually overclock better
charred kernel
Ahh the TUF is $300. 😦

Thanks. Will have to wait for them to come in stock

But ivee been waiting for months first the cards then zen3
spice prawn
its your choice @lone pond
lone pond
I know it's my choice but i don't know what to choose lol
spice prawn
there will always be "something new" coming
lone pond
Do you think the 10gb vram is big problem for the future
spice prawn
@vocal plaza no mistake in that. There isnt a 300usd card in the 3000 series (yet)
nvidia does not seem to think so. @lone pond
spice prawn
you are asking for a yes/no on a very complex question @lone pond, hence why you are not getting a yes/no answer
lone pond
:(
spice prawn
i would love to be able to give you a yes/no answer
lone pond
If I unreserve the 3080 I'm gonna be waiting months for this new card
spice prawn
but there just isnt a way i can do that without typing pure BS
fiery flower
this'll prob be a stupid question but anyone know when the 3070 will be available next?
lone pond
Why are there so many rookies now
fiery flower
Because I was curious as to what dc servers existed
vocal plaza
I’m a rookie and it’s because I read more than I type and respond

Don't see the big deal. It's just another of a hundred "builds" people do

There was a giveaway
spice prawn
@lone pond this happens every time there is a giveaway
lone pond
I didn't watch till the end. I find my attention span shortening every day
vocal plaza
Same
I also imagine that since the 30 series came out and the new AMD series Is coming out the people are looking to see if anyone is selling/giving them away on pc related servers/YouTube channels
night cloak
anyone join because of the linus giveaway...
sick turtle
Better chances of getting one on a giveaway then buying one online

raven horizon
I think I am waiting for 6000 series , If anything because of the lack of common sense by Nvida and lack of cards by AIB's on launch day and the capacitor issue by the same.. No , if the AMD card is within 15% in performance with Nvidia . That is the way I am going.
This is as much a protest and telling Nvida "don't ever allow this to happen again"
sick turtle
Been trying to get one since launch and I still didn't manage to checkout one. My 2080 Super was a disappointment coming from a R9 390 so I don't feel sad going back to AMD.

yeah the 6900XT is supposed to be on par with the 3090, and half the price
i was gonna get a 3090, but if that's the case, i'll get a 6900XT and spend the rest of the money i saved from that on an x570 and 5700x
sacred folio
i have a 3080 zotac would like a 3080 strix
lucid karma
3080 zotac looks good
sacred folio
it dose man i just like the strix tho
lucid karma
3080 strix is expensive though
sacred folio
yea true
lucid karma
If I get a 3080, I’ll want to try for the zotac
But in reality I’d take what I could get
sacred folio
yea tuff to come by
night cloak
wtf is with all these rich guys
lucid karma
But I’m still waiting for 3rd party 6800xt tests
lone pond
y'know people say that alot
lucid karma
So I can decide between 3080 and 6800xt
lone pond
the 3080 is really good for its price, but the 6800xt is cheaper and in some cases can perform better than the 3080
sacred folio
whos rich
lone pond
^^
sacred folio
hahha i am poor
lone pond
same bro

i sold my old pc that how i got my new one lol
lone pond
i gotta wait for christmas so I can build my new rig
and even then my new PC is only 1000$
lucid karma
I have enough money for a 5900x and a 3080/6800xt
Then all my money is gone
This is like over 5 years of saving coming to a head lol
lone pond
I only have 1000$ and I have to build an entire new pc since my current one is pretty old at this point.
lucid karma
Food and rent? Nah just buy a new video card
lone pond
lol. right
lucid karma
People out there able to afford the 3090
Stuff like that is why we had the French and Russian revolutions
lone pond
Is it okay to get a super op cpu and a low end gpu, and just upgrade later?
spice prawn
nothing prevents you from doing that @lone pond
lone pond
Like a 2700X and a 1050TI
spice prawn
see above :)
spice prawn
congratulations @opal willow
opal willow
Epic
lone pond
congrats. you can no longer afford rent
lone pond
uh oh
opal willow
Yeah I was mad
lucid karma
FE looks good
lone pond
they always do
spice prawn
aye, the design is quite lovely
lucid karma
But I feel like they don’t fit in with a lot of other tech styles though
opal willow
Mines not fe :/
lone pond
oh?
opal willow
Mhm
spice prawn
it is @opal willow
opal willow
Is it?
spice prawn
its the reference design based on the FE cooler
lone pond
yes
opal willow
I see
lone pond
thats the founders edition
tulip sapphire
FE is the only card that looks like that.
opal willow
Alright then
spice prawn
same design lines etc
lucid karma
Wait the 3070 is made of iron??
opal willow
I mean I guess
lone pond
n o
tulip sapphire
Yes, solid cast iron.
lone pond
really?
tulip sapphire
It is 97lbs
lucid karma
3070 FE or regular 3070
lone pond
lmao
lucid karma
So what’s the regular made from?
spice prawn
tears
lone pond
blood
lucid karma
If there’s an iron edition
spice prawn
salty salty tears
lucid karma
Wait for 6800 reviews
lone pond
^^
I'm not planning on getting one just curious i thought maybe people were disappointed
spice prawn
@lone pond long story short: its basically a much cheaper 2080ti
spice prawn
with a few details that make it a bit of a weird comparison. but what i said above is close enough
lone pond
in blender the 3070 performs much much better than 2080ti
Well it's nicd we managed to get that kind of performance for 500
ikr
its op
lucid karma
The fact that the lowest card this generation (so far) is the same as the highest card from the last gen is kinda crazy
sick turtle
Well it kinda lacks the vram
tulip sapphire
It's like the 90s and early 00s again
lone pond
but AMD just unveiled a new series of graphics cards that is a direct competitor with rtx 3000 series cards
tulip sapphire
I still don't 100% trust AMD though :/
sick turtle
16gb across all cards is pretty dank
tulip sapphire
Hardware is great, but I'm worried about the software.
lone pond
^^
tulip sapphire
Software is where they've had lots of problems before
lone pond
Vram is overrated
I hope
they had issues with drivers for 5000 series
hopefully they learned their mistakes
lucid karma
My question is when will we see a 3060 or a 6700 so my little sister can afford a better pc lol
sick turtle
AMD are able to make good cards, its just... their drivers sometimes...
tulip sapphire
drivers and other features like RTX Voice and Broadcast. Even shadowplay works better on team green.
lone pond
I don't want to wait even longer for the amd cards just to pay early adopters tax
tulip sapphire
I want an AMD card with Nvid Software
sick turtle
@tulip sapphire Yep we all wish that
tulip sapphire
I think software is enough of a sticking point I'll wait out for 3080s at this point, unless reviews for 6800 or 6900s come in and are really spectacular.
lone pond
same
sick turtle
3080 is not for a good while tho
lucid karma
That’s why I’m waiting on the reviews before making my decision
tulip sapphire
Eh, I'm in line with EVGA, it'll be a few months but that's fine. They also come back in stock places now and then, if you're at the comp when an alert goes there is some chance of snagging one.
lone pond
I'm honestly waiting for the drop of the 3060s
tulip sapphire
I expect I'll find one within 4months one way or another.
lucid karma
I’m waiting for 3060 or 6700 to help my sis build a lower level gaming pc
lucid karma
Lower than me
tulip sapphire
eh, only by virtue of being new.
lone pond
yeah
tulip sapphire
It's 100% the low-end option of the line.
lone pond
but its still not worse tan a 2070 supposable
tulip sapphire
low is still not weak though.
sick turtle
for 1080P you wont really need more
lone pond
exactly
tulip sapphire
my 980 TI still does 1080p fine
spice prawn
depends on how much they cut the features/performance on it
opal willow
Hmm
spice prawn
again, we dont know their plans.
tulip sapphire
It just chokes on it's own electrons on anything else.
lone pond
im running a ryzen 7 3700x and a rtx 2070, its till a good rig, but the 3000 series completely dwarfs my performance. so im excited none the less
tulip sapphire
I made the mistake of buying a 4k monitor and let me tell you, a 980TI does not like 4k.
That's why spurred my whole build really.
sick turtle
They have competition now so that will push them at least
tulip sapphire
That was the warning that "Yep, this PC has reached it's end of life"
lone pond
yeah, hopefully @sick turtle
keen notch
@lone pond we have a similar system
keen notch
yea
lone pond
niccce
keen notch
how much ram
lone pond
32gb
keen notch
same!!
sick turtle
Well seeing that AMD releases their high-end to mid-end cards with 16GB there is a chance that their low-end might have 8gb.
lone pond
probably
lone pond
theres also a chance of nvidia releasing a 3070 super for probably 600 or so dollars
keen notch
prob
lone pond
just like the 2070 got a super after a year or so and it was a 100$ more
keen notch
thats what did but mine was same price its coming friday
tardy marsh
I’m kind of confused at this point. Is the 3070, FE or otherwise, still a good card or will it be so outdone by the 6800 that it’s not even worth it? I’ve heard some things saying the 6800 is going to be insanely better, other saying it’ll be close, but do we actually know how it’ll go yet?
keen notch
i went looking for a 3070
lucid karma
Wait for the 3rd party tests to see how the 6800 does
Also remember, the 6800 is $80 more
keen notch
well for Ray Tracing 3000 series overall radeon 6000
lone pond
the 6800 wont be INSANELY better, but from what AMD has been saying (which isnt very trustable from past experiences) its a tad bit better than the 3070
however its 50$ more
tardy marsh
Okay, thank y’all very much.
lone pond
the 6800XT is 50$ cheaper than the 3080 and performs better in some cases
theres alot of options now lol
lucid karma
The amd stuff showed 6800 against a 2080ti not a 3070 right?
keen notch
gezzy what kinda mobo
tardy marsh
Should a 3600 be good enough for a 6800 (non xt)? I mean it won’t support the new RAGE thing, but would the card still be good enough without that to justify not just going with a 3070 or do we still know nothing about that?
lone pond
was the 3600 even announced yet? or is that just a speculation
tardy marsh
The 5600 is just speculation and leaks to my knowledge, if that’s the cpu you’re talking about
keen notch
yes u did
lone pond
my brain died
anywayt
yes a ryzen 5 3600 should be quite good with a 6800
however, they are recommending to use the new Ryzen 5000 series cpus with the 6000 series for better unlocked performance
lone pond
the prices for all the 5000 series cpus werent released yet i dont think
naive girder
yes they have
wispy pike
Yes they were
tardy marsh
The 5600x is the cheapest at 300
naive girder
the 5600X for example is 299
lone pond
whats the price for a ryzen 5 5600?
naive girder
299
lone pond
oh nicce
